IN THE SANCTUARY
 Sunday, June 4, 2023 - 11:00 a.m. “Building Community Through Restorative Practices"
Cynthia Berryman-Fink, PhD
Music: Sue Stone, piano
Greeters: Constance Rosato & Elizabeth Wallace
We have a communication problem in our country due to social isolation and divisiveness among people. Today we will examine the extent and effect of this problem as we seek to rebuild community and strengthen communication. We’ll look at the purpose and application of restorative practice, hear examples of how it can work, and consider ways to use this loving and spiritual practice in our lives.
Dr. Cindy Berryman-Fink taught at the University of Cincinnati for 31 years, has published numerous articles and books on communication, and has
consulted for many organizations about improving communication practices. She and her husband Chuck retired to Asheville 14 years ago.
We want to hear from you about your joys and concerns. If you cannot attend in person and would like to be heard, please send your message to Rev. Michael Carter by noon on Friday so he can read it during the Sunday service.

Karma & the Power of Forgiveness
Rev. Michael J S Carter
The word “karma” comes from the Sanskrit, the sacred
language of India. The oldest language in the world, it fell out of common usage around 600 BCE. It is now a liturgical language that is used in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Originally it simply meant “doing” or “action,” but its usual meaning had to do with the law of cause and effect, though with a caveat. Karma means not only that certain causes have certain effects, but that a cause produces good and bad deeds.

DIFFERENT STROKES! PERFORMING ARTS COLLECTIVE PRESENTSHaving Our Say: The Delaney Sister’s First 100 YearsJune 1-11, 2023 at the Wortham Center for Performing Arts
www.worthamarts.org
The program opens as 103-year-old Sadie Delany and 101-year-old Bessie Delany welcome us into their Mount Vernon, New York, home. As they
prepare a celebratory dinner in remembrance of their father’s birthday, they take us on a remarkable journey through the last hundred years of our nation’s history, recounting a fascinating series of events and anecdotes drawn from their rich family history and careers as pioneering African-American professionals. Their story is not simply African-American history or women’s history. It is our history, told through the eyes of two unforgettable women as they look not only into the past, but also ahead into the twenty-first century.
A number of Black Mountain UU's and Quakers are going to the show on Saturday, June 10, 2023. Let Maggie O'Neill know if you want to join the carpool group at oneill.maggie9@gmail.com.
